I am a researcher majored in evolutionary biology and I mainly employs ecological and genetic approaches to infer evolutionary process and species speciation.

My current research is the mutualism of figs-fig wasps.

I mainly use molecular data to investigate of the factors influencing gene flow and their impacts on the genetic variation of the fig and their symbiotic fig wasps over a broad range of temporal and spatial scales, then further to explore the species speciation of the fig wasps.

In addition, I am investigating geographic variation of all kinds of characters related to the mutualism, such as seed and pollinator production, non-pollinator (whose larvae parasitize fig fruit) production, odor compounds, and try to know how the variation is influenced by climates and other environmental factors.
